Description

Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) systems use the time taken by the light to fly back and forth to an object in an effort to measure the distance to this target. The TIDA-00663 reference design shows how to design the time measurement back-end for LIDAR based on Time to Digital Converter (...)

Description

This reference design is a low BOM design that has good coverage of automotive interlock connection diagnosis. In hybrid or electric vehicles (HEV/EVs), battery management systems, traction inverters, DCDC converters, onboard chargers, and other subsystems that operate at high voltages need to have (...)

Description

The demand to retain memory on the position of the seat, window, sliding door, mirror, lift-gate, and others driven by that motor has increased as small motors within the modern automotive vehicle continue to evolve. Existing solutions utilize multiple magnetic sensors attached to the body of a (...)

Key Features

Configurable for many DC motor solutions

-14V to 80V wide common mode input range for in-line motor current sensing

Operational for typical 9V to 18V battery supply

Simple interfacing with MSP430™ LaunchPad™ Development Kit for digital capture

Description

Automotive battery power supply lines are prone to transients while running the system. Typical protections required are overvoltage, overload, reversepolarity, and jump start. During the life of a car, the alternator may be replaced with a non-OEM part. The after-market alternator may have (...)

Key Features

Wide input protection voltage range

Scalable to multiple battery topologies (12V, 24V, 48V)

Configurable options to support Class A operation during unsuppressed load dump pulses

Description

The USB Type-C™ and Power Delivery (PD) minidock evaluation module (EVM) provides a complete reference solution for a USB Type-C dock including audio, USB data, power, and video. The EVM has a small 2 inch by 4 inch form factor and supports both source and sink power (...)

Description

The TIDA-00678 TI design showcases a solution for an automotive LED tail light application (Tail/Stop, Turn, Reverse) by using the TPS92630-Q1 linear LED driver powered by an upstream boost converter (TPS40210-Q1) which is directly supplied through a smart reverse battery diode off the automotive (...)

Description

The TIDA-00679 TI design showcases a solution for an automotive LED tail light application (Tail/Stop, Turn, Reverse). It uses the TPS92630 linear LED driver which is directly powered through a smart reverse battery diode off the automotive battery. The design enables potential cost savings and (...)

Description

This reference design includes a complete power management solution for a standalone emergency call (eCall) system in an automotive environment. The circuit is supplied directly from the car battery rail. It also manages a backup battery to power the eCall system while the car battery rail is not (...)

Description

This TI reference design is an automotive voltage boost converter module. The purpose of this module is to supply a steady voltage to vehicle electronics by boosting during voltage droop events such as engine crank. The design is based on the C2000 Real-Time Microcontroller, and will provide up to (...)
